Summary/Abstract: Džemaludin Čaušević is one of the greatest late 19th and early 20th century Islamic scholars of our country. With his scholarly research and engagements in religious, educational, cultural and humanitarian fields he achieved significant and impressive results. Besides being a promoter of reforms, professor at the most elite gymnasiums in Sarajevo, a member of the Ulemai-Majlis association and raisu-l-ulama, he was also founder of religious class societies and an initiator of a number of magazines and journals. Many authors consider him, along with Mehmed Handžić, to be the most significant intellectual and the greatest ‘alim in Bosnia and Herzegovina at the beginning of the 20th century. In this article we intend to point out some segments of his works and present a few of his revivalist ideas.
